First, the following.
{
tracepath socialist-alliance.org
}

Which after some Canberra and Sydney servers, produced this. I would 
have looked up say "hkix.net" directly in Firefox, showing that was a 
Hong Kong service. Though I wasn't able to connect with "pccwbtn.net" 
similarly, as with "139.162.64.17".

But freegeoip.net listed for that numerical address, the following.

{
Country 	Japan
Region 	Tokyo
City 	Tokyo

}
